HO G2 AC4400CW CSX #17 Locomotive (ATHG31551)

This HO-scale AC4400CW CSX #17 locomotive is a fully assembled, ready-to-run model that faithfully recreates CSX's distinctive heavy-haul electric on an HO layout. It combines prototype-accurate detailing with reliable operation, including LED lighting, a robust Genesis driveline, and weighty construction for solid traction. DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector makes digital control a breeze, while RP25-profile wheels and a heavy die-cast frame contribute to smooth, steady performance.

Road-number #17 carries specific CSX-era details such as the K5LAR24 horn, a PTC antenna array, forward-position central air intake, bolted fuel tank, uneven rear grab irons, and a vertical handrail behind the inverter cabinet, representing the later modified configuration. The AC4400CW series emphasizes high fidelity—featuring etched walkways, see-through cab windows, a full cab interior, and lighting that mirrors prototype operation—and offers grime-ready finishes that serve as ideal starting points for weathering. If a sound-equipped version is preferred, onboard DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami2 and dual cube speakers deliver authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds with full DCC function and NMRA compatibility, usable in both DC and DCC operation.
